Chapter 917
Without a doubt, the Heavenvoid Cauldron was the most precious treasure here. However, this place was the elixir store of the Immortal Emperor, so there must be many other precious treasures here.
The two men and one monkey soon found some precious immortal pills and herbs, each of which was priceless now. They were overjoyed.
Especially Penglai Island Master, his cultivation level was low, so the immortal pills here were of great help to him. According to his agreement with Gu Chen, they would split the loot fifty-fifty. Even with the white ape, he still made a huge profit.
After plundering the Heavenvoid Hall, the two looked at each other and smiled. They were very satisfied with the loot.
"There are many halls here!" Penglai Island Master reminded them with a smile. The two immediately left the Heavenvoid Hall and went to other side halls.
Unfortunately, they were soon disappointed.
The side halls were filled with colorful restrictions, and it was obvious that they were not easy to invade.
"How is it? Is there a way to pass through the restrictions here? "Penglai Island Master looked at Gu Chen expectantly.
Although he was proficient in formations, it was difficult for him to understand the Primordial Restrictions here with his current attainments. Since Gu Chen could see through the flaws of the restrictions in the garden, he might be able to pass through here as well.
"No, the restrictions in the garden and the Heavenvoid Hall all showed flaws because of the spatial collapse, but the restrictions in these side halls are very intact. It's difficult for me to break through them with my current level of expertise. I can only break through them by force, but it's too risky."
Gu Chen shook his head. The restrictions here were probably set up by Immortal Emperor Taixu himself. Breaking through them without any flaws would only lead to death.
"So, we can only watch but not eat?" Penglai Island Master's face was full of regret. It was the most depressing thing to enter a treasure mountain but return empty-handed.
"It's possible. I know someone who can break through the restrictions here with his array skills. Unfortunately, he's not here right now."
Gu Chen thought of Jiang Baiming. He had learned a lot of primeval restrictions in the Ancient Immortal Tower, so he must have a high chance of breaking through this restriction.
"Forget it. The immortal pills in the Heavenvoid Hall are already a great fortune for the Old Man. We shouldn't be too greedy. What we should think about now is how to leave this place safely."
Penglai Island Master soon felt relieved and murmured.
"Li Fu and the Li people's army are right outside. If we go out rashly, we'll have to hand over the Heavenvoid Cauldron. Otherwise, a huge battle will be inevitable."
Gu Chen's eyes flickered.
Although he couldn't open the Heavenvoid Cauldron, he wouldn't hand it over to Li Fu. However, if he didn't hand it over, it would be hard for him, White Ape, and Penglai Island Master to break out of the encirclement.
"That dragon horse has been planning for many years to get the Heavenvoid Cauldron. Since it has a way to enter this place, it probably has a way to leave safely," Penglai Island Master said after some consideration.
"That's right. That should be the case."
Gu Chen's eyes brightened, and the two of them returned to the Heavenvoid Hall.
"A way to leave this place? Haha, it doesn't exist at all! "The Dragon Horse laughed and shook its head continuously when it heard the two people's questions.
"What? Gu Chen frowned. "Didn't you think of a way to leave after obtaining the Heavenvoid Cauldron?"
"Why would I want to leave this place?" the Dragon Horse asked.
"This is Immortal Emperor Taixu's elixir store. There are countless Immortal Elixirs here, and it is the most suitable place for cultivation. It is much safer than the outside world! Even if the space here collapses again, you will be fine if you hide in the Heavenvoid Hall!
"Furthermore, if I break through to the Holiness Realm with the help of the Immortal Elixirs, I won't have to be afraid of Li Fu anymore. That is why I don't have any plans to leave!"
The Dragon Horse's eloquent words rendered Gu Chen and White Ape speechless.
"It has a point. This place is indeed a suitable place for cultivation."
Penglai Island Master was tempted. Now that he had obtained a great fortune, it was the right time for him to cultivate in seclusion. Why would he take the risk?
"I noticed that the entrance here is extremely unstable. If we stay here for too long, the entrance might collapse. If that happens, we won't be able to get out. "
"Would you be willing to be lost in the turbulent space forever?"
Gu Chen shook his head slowly, his expression grim.
"This …" Penglai Island Master and the Dragon Horse became nervous.
"How about we kill our way out together? Let go of me. If I lend you a hand, we might have a chance of escaping successfully! "the Dragon Horse suggested quickly, a cunning glint flashing in its eyes.
"I won't leave my back to someone who isn't trustworthy," Gu Chen rejected coldly.
The Dragon Horse was powerful and could almost fight against a peak Celestial King. If he joined forces with it and the white ape, they might have a chance to take down Li Fu.
However, they were enemies previously. Judging from the Dragon Horse's cunning, it was only looking for an opportunity to escape.
Gu Chen could have placed a restriction in its mind. However, in terms of soul cultivation, the Dragon Horse was no weaker than him. Placing a restriction would be very risky, so he could only give up on this option.
"Heh, if you don't believe me, you can continue to think of other ways. However, no matter how hard you try, what good ideas can you come up with?"
The Dragon Horse snorted disdainfully. It was much calmer than before.
Previously, it was afraid that it would be killed by Gu Chen. However, now it realized that Gu Chen needed it.
As long as it was still useful, Gu Chen wouldn't kill it. If the opportunity arose, it might even snatch the Heavenvoid Cauldron back …
"I'm afraid we don't have a better plan." The Penglai Island Lord sighed. It knew that letting go of the Dragon Horse would be asking a tiger for its skin, but there was no other way out.
"Let's wait and see. Maybe there will be other opportunities." Gu Chen remembered the message he sent before coming to Xu Yuan. He found a random place in the hall and sat down, waiting quietly.
…
Xu Yuan, in the starry sky not far from the Li people's military camp.
"Friend Li, this trip wasn't in vain, right? Are you still blaming Gu Chen for not listening to your advice and taking action on his own? "
Tang Ning stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He looked at Xu Yuan with a faint smile.
Beside him, Li Shunyu was visibly moved. He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with intense hatred. "Fragment of the Celestial Realm … I didn't expect that the thief Li Fu dared to covet the relic of the Celestial Realm!
"Now that the fragment of the Celestial Realm has appeared, our Ancient Heaven can't let it fall into the hands of the forces of the Divine Realm. Otherwise, it will be a disgrace to our ancestors."
Tang Ning's smile gradually turned cold. "When Gu Chen and I wanted to attack Li Fu, Friend Li opposed it for the sake of the big picture. What about now? Do you still think so? "
Li Shunyu clenched his fists tightly as if he had been waiting for this moment for countless years. Tears welled up in his eyes.
"Thief Li Fu, you ungrateful dog! The Old Man has been patient for countless years, and now he finally has a reason to attack you! "
"The fragment of the Celestial Realm can't fall into the hands of the Li people. The Old Man will return to the Celestial Court and summon an army to wipe out the Li Celestial Clan!"
Li Shunyu said vehemently. He wanted to take out the commander's seal to summon an army, but Tang Ning stopped him.
"The spy in the Celestial Court has not been eliminated. Why don't we kill two birds with one stone?" Tang Ning said with a smile.
